Within the elegant confines of FIVE Zurich, you’ll discover a culinary journey like no other. Helmed by legendary chef Antonio Satta, of Michelin-starred Armani Ristorante fame, Cinque celebrates Italian cuisine through its inimitable seafood menu. The Balfegó tuna, Skye scallops, and Sicilian Prawns from Mazara dell Vallo are star dishes that complement the restaurant’s Swiss counterparts like beef carpaccio, Castelmagno cheese-filled bottoni pasta and wild mushroom risotto. Known for its cozy ambience with a terrace offering panoramic views of the city – Cinque makes for the perfect spot for a pre-dinner aperitivo or date night.
